LIVING IN THE PLASTIC AGE…

Georg Fischer (GF), one of the world’s leading providers of plastic piping solutions to the construction and public sectors, is celebrating the completion of its work at the new Portsmouth Queen Alexandra Hospital together with the new pathology centre, having been chosen to provide water piping systems to the project. Services included not only providing product but also technical expertise, installation and training capabilities in the use of ABS pipe fittings and valves, prefabricated PE sections and ELGEF electrofusion systems. 

Reducing costs associated with unplanned maintenance and achieving significant savings on energy consumption were the important benefits achieved at a Severn Trent Water facility, following the installation of Vaughan Chopper Pumps, supplied by P&M Pumps.

A new pipe fitting which provides free orientation for hydraulic and pneumatic hoses and tools across a wide range of industrial applications has been introduced by spray nozzle specialists BETE Ltd. The patented Variacor® coupling ensures hosing can be flexible and multi-directional and so brings important benefits to users. For example, the innovative design of the coupling ensures optimum flexibility which results in less wear on hoses and so reduces costs. Also, increased manoeuvrability of the hose means easier handling for the user while the lower pressure and flow losses compared to conventional couplings, results in a more consistent and improved flow. 

FP360 sc highly sensitive UV fluorometer detects smallest traces of oil in water.

Even the smallest oil traces impair water quality. The FP 360 sc monitors surface water, process water and industrial water continuously for traces of mineral oil contamination. The highly sensitive UV fluorometer is immersed directly in the medium.

94/9/EC ATEX certification for the Bayco range of overfill detection products

Dixon Europe are proud to have recently acquired 94/9/EC ATEX certification for the Bayco range of overfill detection products.

The ATEX directive applies where products are being used in potentially explosive environments/atmospheres. Manufacturers/suppliers must ensure their products meet the essential health and safety requirements and undergo appropriate conformity procedure to be allowed the work in these environments.
